SOFTSWISS’ Take on SBC Summit Barcelona
This September, SOFTSWISS left a lasting impression at the SBC Summit 2023 in Barcelona. Inspired by the visionary spirit of Salvador Dali and other celebrated Spanish artists, SOFTSWISS realised a new creative concept which portrays the product ecosystem as modern industry classics, embodying the timeless essence of excellence.
The company’s vibrant concept has redefined the perception of success in the iGaming industry, capturing the attention and recognition of all attendees. Backed with the slogan ‘Make your Business a Classic,’ the experts introduced visitors to comprehensive and robust solutions that have the potential to propel iGaming businesses of any scale to phenomenal success.


Embracing the creative concept, the SOFTSWISS stand underwent a metamorphosis, resembling a museum pavilion adorned with original paintings dedicated to each of the provider’s product offerings. SOFTSWISS’ artistic display caught the eye of every visitor, garnering enthusiastic praise and establishing a new gold standard for creative campaigns in the industry.
Alexandra Kavelich, Head of PR & Events at SOFTSWISS, describes the new concept: “Just like visionaries Dali and Picasso dared to push the boundaries in the art world, carving out new forms and pioneering innovation in their field, SOFTSWISS embraces a similar spirit. We infuse this energy into our product ecosystem, representing progress, foresight, and a determination to become a classic in the iGaming industry.”
Jan Kowalchyk, Business Development Director at SBC, shares his impressions about the SOFTSWISS presence at the exhibition: “I really loved this year’s SOFTSWISS stand at the SBC Summit. It was three times the size of last year’s and unquestionably the most stunning booth at the event. The design was impeccable, with a glossy white finish, and there were artistic paintings representing each of the company’s products that truly made the booth stand out among the 350 exhibitors. I’d give it a perfect 10 out of 10.”


The SOFTSWISS delegation had a highly successful exhibition. They had productive meetings with clients and partners, established new connections, explored potential collaborations, and showcased exciting product updates generating industry buzz.
Notably, the cross-product integration of the Game Aggregator and the Jackpot Aggregator via a seamless one-time API connection had already delivered substantial benefits to clients. These two products had been previously successfully integrated with the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, a gamified sports betting platform featuring a distinctive range of bonuses.

This year, the conference program featured a wealth of industry professionals who shared valuable insights on various topics. SOFTSWISS was no exception and captured visitors’ attention with an engaging and enlightening presentation about the significance of retention in the iGaming industry. Anastasiya Tsikhanava, Business Development Manager at SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator, took the stage to discuss ‘Why Retention is the Strategy for Success?’ and shared profound insights and the company’s extensive experience in this field.


Olga Resiga, Chief Business Development Officer at SOFTSWISS, summarises: “At SBC Summit Barcelona 2023, we showcased the latest SOFTSWISS developments while exploring new opportunities. The event served as a catalyst for turning ideas into action, and our meetings with clients and partners reinforced our confidence in achieving success together. We are proud that our team stands at the centre of the evolution of this dynamic industry. Just as Dalí’s artworks have achieved timeless excellence and become classics, our innovative solutions will continue to propel our client’s businesses to resounding success.”

Former WBC cruiserweight champion to appear at PartyPoker Tour UK stops and take part in online activations.
PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.
The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.
“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.
PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity
Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.
In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.
“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”
The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.
For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.
The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
